Emilie Kiser’s Husband Brady Kiser Won’t Be Charged Over Son Trigg’s Death
Emilie Kiser is seeking more privacy.
After it was revealed that her husband Brady Kiser won’t be charged in connection to the death of their 3-year-old son Trigg Kiser, the TikToker filed a request to have the original police report that recommended he be indicted over the incident redacted, according to a court document obtained by People July 31.
Emilie’s legal team stated in the filing that she’s concerned the report’s details could be used to create “disturbing” content about the passing of her son—who died after an accidental drowning in the pool at their family’s Arizona home—if it ever becomes public, such as reenactments with artificial intelligence, per the outlet.
“The section of the report Ms. Kiser seeks to redact contains information and context that is critical to provide the public a reasonably full understanding of the investigation of the drowning, the police department’s decision to recommend criminal charges,” attorney Matthew Kelly said in the document, according to People, “and the county attorney’s decision not to pursue criminal charges.”
Trigg was at home with his dad Brady and his brother Theodore, now 3 months, on May 6 when he accidentally drowned in the family’s inground pool. After first responders arrived on the scene, the toddler was transported to the hospital, where he died six days later.

Following an investigation into his death, the Chandler Police Department submitted a report recommending a Class 4 felony charge of child abuse against Brady, who said that the drowning occurred when he lost track of Trigg for three to five minutes, according to police search warrants obtained by USA Today affiliate The Arizona Republic.
However, after further research, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office ultimately decided that the patriarch would not be charged because there was “no reasonable likelihood of conviction.”

“Surveillance video from outside the home showed how the drowning occurred and the actual timeline of events,” the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office said in a statement on its website July 25. “In order to convict a person of this charge, the state has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt to a unanimous jury that the person failed to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable risk, and that failure to perceive the risk was a gross deviation from the standard of care a reasonable person would show.”
The attorney’s office continued, “After careful review of the evidence submitted by Chandler PD, it was determined this case does not meet that standard.”
And while neither Brady nor Emilie have personally spoken out on the tragic accident, Emilie filed a lawsuit in May against multiple Maricopa County public offices seeking to keep other records about Trigg’s passing private.
“She lost her young son,” her attorney said in the suit, obtained by E! News at the time. “Emilie is trying her best to be there for her surviving son, 2-month-old Theodore. But every day is a battle.”
